lock screen widget? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone successfully add a lock screen widget?
Im not having any success at least doing it the way I have in the past

Make sure lockscreen widgets are enabled. This is done in settings---->security.

Touchwiz Lockscreen Weather

Does anyone else have an issue with the lockscreen weather never updating? The weather app updates just fine but not the lockscreen weather

NOT if you set it up to update
Go to Settings/Lock screen/ Lock screen options/Weather/Auto refresh :victory:

Maybe it changed recently, but now it is:
Settings>security>Lock Screen Options>Weather (on off)...
:laugh:
If you're referring to the lockscreen when in a dock, you need to click the menu button when the lockscreen is displayed. It will open up a listing with Settings as a choice. That's where you turn AccuWeather on or off.

Yes I have the weather turned on but it will not auto update or show the current city if I go to a different location. It will update if i turn the setting for the weather off and then on again or reboot but it will not change on its own like the apps do

Ok i just saw that the weather settings are there. I did not know to click on the weather on/off selection to see the refresh options. I wish it refreshed more frequently than one hour to reflect if I change my location

Weather on Pattern Lockscreen

This is probably the most noob question ever, but, how can I make the weather appear on my lockscreen? I can only find widgets to add to the panel when you swipe to the left from the lockscreen. I don't want to have to swipe to the side, I just want to see it when I turn the screen on.
I use the pattern lockscreen, but see the attached picture for the type of weather display I'm trying to get.
Thanks.
Nevermind,
Realized there is a CM10 widget with all the goodies on it. I had installed Lockscreen Policy and turned widgets off, doh.
However, if anyone knows a way to disable the slide to the left and still only have the one CM10 widget screen, I'd appreciate that info!
Thanks.
That's the Chronus widget but it was recently renamed to cLock due to to legal reasons.. Im not sure what you mean by slide thing though.. Can you elaborate?

OPO stock custom lockscreen: how enable landscape on rotation? [FIXED!]

title says it all. i can't for the life of me find the setting to allow lockscreen rotation on my OPO. if i use my phone in my car, it's in landscape, and having a portrait oriented lockscreen just looks and feels silly.
okay, squirly squirts, i have it working.
if someone wants to make a quick script to just tap and go from here, just give me a thanks :good: and acknowledgement
it turns out that you need a stupid build.prop edit
go to /system
edit build.prop. you'll need an editor with root access and r/w privileges
add to the end of the file
Code:
log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE
lockscreen.rot_override=true
to the bottom.
save.
reboot.
there you go.:fingers-crossed:
I don't believe you can do it.

You can. Root, install Gravity Box and Xposed, enable it via Gravity Box. have mine lockscreen rotation working though.

That's not the lockscreen, that's a home screen. Mine does that too. I'm talking about the lockscreen. At least, I'm assuming it isn't the lockscreen, considering it looks like it has a dialer on it. It sure isn't the lockscreen on 11s.
Sorry, I'm talking specifically about the custom slider for the OPO, not a boring ring slider, lol

Thats actually is the lockscreen with PIN lock. Oh I think you are using the custom CM11s lockscreen so it cannot rotate I think. Try disable the custom lockscreen?

Lol, that's what I don't want to do. I want this lockscreen to rotate. That's the point of the thread
hell, i've even disabled the stupid custom lockscreen, hoping i could get the regular stock lockscreen to work in landscape. no such luck using gravity box with supersu (pro), using gravity box. wtf? what the emm effing eff? it's killing me, smalls

Did you enable the Gravity Box module via Xposed?

of course. using supersu for superuser access. it says it's on. never works. not once. not on the 'custom lockscreen' (which i prefer), nor without custom checked.
effing thing. i don't want to have to flash the thing from scratch, but i might this weekend, if nobody comes up with a solution that works.
in fact, using apex launcher, i can get homescreens to rotate, but not lock. using trebuchet, i can't even get homescreens to rotate, using exact same settings. effing ridiculous

Thats because the auto rotate is dependent on the launcher app. Trebuchet doesn't offer as much settings out of the box.
Lock screen does not allow landscape. Thats just how it is.

You must have missed the part where I solved this, and posted the solution above.

An easier solution is to download the set orientation app from Google play. It allows rotation in all screens including lock screen.

Lock screen widgets/info

Hi Guys,
I have been trying to to add some widgets to the lock screen but cannot see the option do so. The main idea is to display the alarm along with the native clock icon and see the calendar events without having to unlock the device. I treid next lock screen but the behavior seemed a bit weird and I would like widgets on the stock lock screen itself. Is there a way to do so?
Thanks in advance.
Nope, no way to do that unfortunately. I don't think lock screen widgets have been a feature since 4.2

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, are you referring to magazine unlock where everytime the screen turns on it shows a different wallpaper?
